i knew from what i read that references in C++ are constant pointers which are automatically dereferenced.. And once a reference is initialized to an object, it cannot be changed to refer to another object. so something like this shud not work.. int main() { int p=15; int m=10; int &s=p; s=m; } on the last line it shud give compile time error. But it's compiling as well as running fine in GCC..
int main (void) { int p=15; int m=10; int * const s=&p; *s=m; }
